More To It Than That
First it depends on what the degree is in. One day when I was in line to register for one of my classes in chemistry I asked a girl what she was majoring in. She said History. I asked her what she planned to do with a History degree she said she'd figure it out when she graduated. Second there are other factors like age. Once you pass 30 finding a job is harder. You will have recruiters asking your birthday even before you are considered for a job interview which rarely comes. Third is location. You have to move to where the jobs are. However, there are then problems with that. I moved to another state but my southern accent was a big liability. It didn't matter that I had a BS, I was a veteran and had 10 years experience. I landed a job at a British company north of Denver and immediately the lead techician (an American) began making fun of my accent and many there were rude. If I had been from Red China or Pakistan I would have been more welcome. So if you have a degree in the right discipline in the right location and you are the right age and right race, etc.. Then you are good to go. It's not as simple as just having a degree.
